Add on a sign for the shop unit, looks like somebody's been shooting at it, along with a more practical door that looks a bit plain beside the containers gothic design, but salvagers don't have the luxury of decoration

You need easy access to the roof, so install a retractable ladder unit by the hatch

A display unit (or bench if you're holding a meeting) is installed under the windows along with a salvaged computer console and control deck

and finally a bit of work on sealing up the rear door, weld it shut (i'll have to do the last bit after painting the inside and gluing the container together), and disable the lock control pad, 'killing' that servo skull in the process

Automatically Appended Next Post: oh and note the damage to the eagles beaks that serve as the lifting points for the containers, a good reason for it to have been reused as something else as it was sent for repair or recycling and ended up diverted into the underhive economy

first I painted it with an off white/beige (Vallejo deck tan), then I put in the bubbles with dots of brighter white (Vallejo Ivory highlighting up to Vallejo White) in 2 or 3 sizes, more large ones at the top, more smaller ones at the bottom just as you see with bubbles in cartoons

I then laid over a layer of bright acid 'transparent' green, I used old GW scorpion green which is pretty much see through (if you've not got that any really acid green or fluorescent diluted with glaze medium should do just so long as you can see through it)

then repeat the highlighting with white on some of the bubbles and repeat the green glaze over the whole thing (to represent those closer to the window), I did this twice to give 3 'depths' of bubbles (that's why the green needs to be so see through)

It's a Fly Guy, really pleased with how this one painted up, the fly eyes are done with one of the greenstuff world chameleon paints and look excellent in person, and the bloated belly looks suitably revolting

Really liking the palette so far dude - the muted greys and blue/purple that you don't normally see on Nurgle minis are working really well for you. Keep it up!

The Alien. The Other. The Inconceivable. The Eldritch Abomination is a type of creature defined by its disregard for the natural laws of the universe as we understand them. They are grotesque mockeries of reality beyond comprehension whose disturbing otherness cannot be encompassed in any mortal tongue.
